What is is: every four years we add a cheat-day to the calendar, elect a President, compete in the Summer Olympics, and convene the is FAIR. Since 1996 we’ve convened six is FAIRS in six different cities on this quadrennial schedule. Plans to bring the seventh is FAIR back to Denver in 2020, after a twenty-year absence, were trampled under the hooves of a white horseman galloping asunder across the land. On suggestion from our council of elders, we elected to hold the is FAIR in 2020, but actually in 2021.
The is FAIR is a pseudo-science fair for free-thinking adults; artists, miscreants, pranksters, and anyone with a good story to tell. Blue-chip artists, your mom (or child), deep thinkers, disaffected hipsters, even sincere romantics are submit a free-standing table-top tri-fold display or documentary film short, addressing the eternal theme of “individuals and their relationship to groups”.
